High Surf Advisory issued August 3 at 3:56PM ChST until August 8 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet and dangerous rip
currents expected in the surf zone.
* WHERE...North and east facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long-period east to northeast swell,
emanating from distant Typhoon Dolphin, continues to produce a
high risk of rip currents and hazardous surf along north and
east-facing reefs. As Dolphin continues to move toward Iwo To,
the long-period swell direction is expected to shift north over
the next few days, and then northwest around midweek. As it does
so, a high risk of rip currents and hazardous surf are expected
to develop along west facing reefs later this week.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against
the current. If able, swim in a direction following the
shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave
for help.
